How can I pipe the first answer choice displayed from a previous question?

Question

Let’s say Q1 choices are A, B, C, and D and they are displayed in randomized order. How can I pipe the first choice that appeared in Q1 to the next question?

Hi,Add this code to your question’s custom javascript:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {function getChoiceTextByKey(input, key = 'x') {if (input &&typeof input === 'object' &&input.Choices &&input.Choices[key] &&typeof input.Choices[key].Text === 'string') {return input.Choices[key].Text;}return null;}const question = this.getQuestionInfo();const displayedFirst = getChoiceTextByKey(question, this.getChoices()[0]);Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setJSEmbeddedData('displayedFirst', displayedFirst);});With the ED “__js_displayedFirst” at the beginning of your survey flow:Pipe in the value of that ED in subsequent questions with “${e://Field/__js_displayedFirst}”

There is no direct way to pipe the first choice of the previous question to the next. But with the help of JS we can doo this.
